If you have a new WSL instance with minikube installed, and you can’t run a helm install, it can be a configuration error related to networking. Here’s an example error:
Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: failed pre-install: 1 error occurred:First, you need to check the logs of the pod related to the release. You can do this by running:
kubectl logs -n your-namespace your-pod-nameIf you see ImagePullBackOff status, it means the pod couldn’t pull the image. Try to execute this command to see if you can pull the same image inside minikube VM:
minikube ssh
docker pull your-imageIf you can’t pull the image, it might be a network issue. One that worked for me is to modify /etc/resolv.conf to use Google’s DNS servers:
sudo nano /etc/resolv.confAdd these lines:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
